Can I send WhatsApp messages through my agent using Bird?

Yes. Use the `dispatch_omnichannel_stream` tool by specifying your WhatsApp Channel ID. Your agent will handle the formatting and transmit the text payload directly to your customer's WhatsApp inbox securely.

How do I check why an SMS wasn't delivered?

The `get_sms_metadata` tool allows your agent to retrieve the precise delivery status for any Message ID. You'll be able to see if the carrier rejected the message or if it's currently buffered in their network.

Can my agent monitor my account balance to avoid service interruptions?

Absolutely. Use the `get_account_balance` tool to retrieve your current funds status. Your agent will report your financial limits, helping you ensure there are enough credits to support your global communication flows.

Bird (Omnichannel Communication) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Bird (Omnichannel Communication) MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
